A
A
A
A
We
are
going
to
have
an
update
this
morning
from
our
city
manager,
Steve,
Connell
echoes
and
Anthony
Demonte,
general
manager
of
emergency
and
Protective
Services
on
the
2019
flood
response,
but
before
I
pass
it
over
to
them.
I
wanted
to
just
take
this
opportunity
to
say
a
few
words.
As
you
know,
our
city
remains
actively
engaged
in
the
response
to
the
flooding
event,
which
has
affected
many
residents
in
our
community,
especially
those
in
West,
Carlton,
Britannia
and
Cumberland.
A
tremendous
effort
has
been
made
to
protect
property
and
support
the
well-being
of
these
residents.
A
City
staff,
including
our
first
responders
NGOs
other
levels
of
government,
including
the
Canadian
Armed
Forces,
and
over
15,000
volunteers,
have
already
answered
the
call
to
help
those
in
need.
We
will
learn
more
about
these
efforts
in
this
morning's
presentation,
but
I
know
I
speak
for
many
in
Ottawa
when
I
say.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
your
time,
your
determination
and
your
dedication
to
helping
so
many
of
our
friends
and
neighbors
across
our
city,
chiavari.
Merci,.
A
To
commend
the
actions
of
my
council
colleagues,
especially
councillors,
Elgin
Terry,
Cavanagh
and
Bley,
who,
from
the
very
start
of
this
response,
have
provided
leadership
and
have
given
their
all
in
support
for
their
commune.
Indeed,
many
more
counselors
have
also
stepped
up
to
volunteer
with
their
teams
and
as
individuals,
filling
sandbags,
raising
awareness
and
providing
support
and
I
wish
to
thank
them
for
that
effort
as
well.
This
incident
demonstrates
what
we
can
achieve
when
we
work
together
for
the
benefit
of
all
Ottawa
and
all
of
our
residents.
Irrespective
of
our
Ward
boundaries.
We
know.
A
However,
there
is
still
much
to
do
as
we
prepare
to
transition
to
recovery
operations
in
the
coming
days.
The
continued
collaboration
of
council
city
staff
and
our
external
partners
will
be
absolutely
essential
for
more
information.
I
will
now
ask
our
city
manager
Steve
calicoes,
to
provide
an
update,
good.
I
We
continue
to
actively
monitor
water
levels
as
a
wet
weather
and
spring
fell
from
up
north,
where
our
ongoing
variables
we're
also
preparing
full-on
for
the
next
phase
of
work,
including
recovery
and
remediation
operations.
Before
before,
our
general
manager
of
emergency
and
Protective
Services,
Tony
de
Monte
provide
specific
details
and
our
ongoing
operations.
I'd
like
to
echo
mayor
deputy
mayor
doodahs
remarks
and
thank
Council
for
its
leadership's
in
particular
counselors
bleh,
L,
shan't,
airy
and
Cavanaugh.
You've
been
on
the
ground.
I
I've
witnessed
you
working
day
and
night
to
help
your
constituents
through
this
crisis
and
continue
to
serve
as
a
critical
connection
point
with
your
effective
communities.
I
had
the
privilege
of
touring
the
site's
many
times
and
I
can
see
how
much
your
commitment
and
dedication
is
valued
and
appreciated
by
your
residents.
I
also
want
to
thank
mayor
Watson
for
his
leadership
and
judgment
in
declaring
a
state
of
emergency
to
ensure
the
city
had
the
necessary
resources
to
help
us
through
this
very
difficult
period.
I
I
also
want
to
thank
deputy
mayor
de
Roos,
who
was
acting
for
the
mayor,
while
the
mayor,
while
mayor
Watson,
was
recovering
from
surgery.
Deputy
mayor
de
Roos
played
a
critical
leadership
role
for
staff
and
the
city
during
the
most
dire
days
when
this
emergency
was
first
evolving
and
finally,
to
thank
deputy
mayor
du
das,
who
has
stepped
in
now,
while
mayor
Watson
is
on
the
second
eye
surgery
and
has
been
briefed
in
his
fully
position
to
be
able
to
lead
our
team
through
this
next
period.
I
I
also
want
to
take
a
moment
to
acknowledge
the
incredible
work
of
literally
thousands
of
city
staff
when
working
around
the
clock
to
respond
to
this
emergency.
This
thing
this
includes
those
who've
been
working.
The
Emergency
Operations
Center
on
the
ground
that
our
incident
command
pulse
the
community
support
centers
and
behind
the
scenes
in
city
hall
or
as
volunteers
I've
seen
many
of
our
staff
actually
out
there
as
volunteers,
not
on
the
job,
just
helping
their
community,
which
is
an
amazing
thing.
I
I
specifically
want
to
thank
Pierre,
pori
and
Jim
Montgomery,
who
have
been
our
commanders
in
our
Emergency
Operations
Center,
who
played
an
incredible
role
in
coordinating
a
massive
number
of
items
that
come
in
every
day
for
us
to
be
able
to
respond
appropriately
to
our
communities
and
they've
been
working
at
this
since
early
April
and
finally
Tony
Dumont,
their
general
manager.
Tony
is
one
of
the
most
experienced
emergency
operators
we
have
in
this
city
and
his
experience
and
insight
and
guidance
and
judgment
have
been
invaluable
as
we've
been
working
our
way.
I
Their
approach
to
walking
in
such
a
skilled,
collabora
and
respectful
way
says
a
lot
of
the
professionalism
of
the
soldiers
in
this
country,
and
it
always
I
always
look
upon
them
with
amazement
of
how
they
just
get
out
and
they
get
it
done,
and
they
really
were
the
difference
makers
in
this
emergency.
The
impacts
would
have
been
far
more
significant
without
their
help,
and
we
thank
them
for
responding
to
the
call
to
help
for
our
residents
in
need.
We're
extremely
proud
of
the
tremendous
citywide
response
to
this
mergers.
I
It's
a
date
and
I
can
speak
for
many
when
I
say
that
I
feel
incredibly
honored
to
be
part
of
a
city
so
committed
to
supporting
each
other.
But
the
work
doesn't
stop
there,
we're
in
this
low,
where
the
waters
are
still
high.
They
haven't
receded
yet,
and
we
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do
as
we
prepare
for
the
recovery
efforts
which
we've
been
doing
for
days
now,
to
get
ready
to
hit
the
ground
running
the
moment
that
water
recedes.
I
I
The
members
of
council
city
staff,
community
partners
and
volunteers
are
there
to
help
residents
during
emergency,
but
it's
important
that
we
pace
ourselves
to
get
to
the
finish
line:
we're
committed
to
supporting
councils
work
with
residents
and
continuing
to
provide
the
same
high-quality
service,
we're
able
to
deliver
the
front
end
of
this
emergency,
but
before
I
turn
it
over
to
mr.
Demonte
we're
going
to
play
a
short
video
boom
footage
that
really
captures
the
extent
of
the
flooding
along
the
Ottawa
River.
I
As
you
know,
we
saw
a
sudden
increase
in
water
levels
that
led
us
to
project.
The
2019
flood
could
have
peak
levels,
a
half
meter
higher
than
those
in
2017.
These
images
are
dramatic
and
this
footage
was
taken
just
to
read
just
to
give
you
some
context
before
the
water
at
you
reached
its
highest
levels,
following
that,
mr.
Demonte
will
provide
a
detailed
overview
of
the
city's
response
and
an
update
on
the
current
situation.
Thank
you.
J
Thank
you
Steve
good
morning,
deputy
mayor
members
of
council,
ball,
methania
miss
you.
They
call
see
since
our
last
update
at
council.
Two
weeks
ago,
the
communities
of
West,
Carlton,
Cumberland
and
Britannia
have
experienced
significant
flooding
that
has
exceeded
the
levels
of
2017.
The
response
has
been
extraordinary:
team
effort
involving
city
staff,
community
organizations,
the
Canadian
Armed
Forces
and
thousands
of
volunteers.
The
ward
councillors
and
the
flood
affected
areas
have
also
been
working
tirelessly
in
support
of
their
residents,
Nathan
Scott
being
from
prevention.
D
J
Frechette
task
force
has
been
operational
since
early
February,
preparing
and
monitoring
water
levels
across
the
Ottawa
River
watershed.
The
task
force
has
included
representatives
from
the
city
departments,
external
stage,
stakeholders
such
as
the
conservation
authorities
and
the
National
Capital
Commission
on
April
4th
of
the
city's
Emergency
Operations
Center
entered
into
situational
awareness
to
monitor,
low-lying
areas
providing
a
technical
briefing
to
counsel
and
media.
Regarding
on
how
the
city's
flood
mitigation
efforts
that
were
underway,
initially,
the
forecast
was
predicting
a
normal
thaw.
J
However,
the
city
was
actively
preparing
for
potential
flooding
by
distributing
sand
and
sandbags
across
the
city
to
possible
flooding
areas
and
proactively
messaging
residents.
The
city
escalated
to
enhanced
operations
on
April
18th,
following
an
update
from
the
Ottawa
River
regulation,
Planning
Board,
when
Jen
indicated
a
rainfall,
a
significant
one
of
up
to
80
millimeters,
which
would
further
impact
the
Ottawa
River.
J
However,
water
levels
at
that
time
were
not
expected
to
reach
27
levels,
2017
levels,
rather
that
changed
on
April
24th,
when
the
board
determined
that
water
levels
could
ultimately
reach
similar
levels
to
2017
and
based
on
the
forecast
from
Environment
Canada.
As
such,
the
city
entered
activated
operations,
engaging
all
city
departments
and
services,
donia
shawnzy
Venkat,
obviously,.
D
J
Following
a
recommendation
from
the
city
manager,
mayor
Watson
declared
a
state
of
emergency
due
to
several
developments
over
a
24
hour
period
that
required
us
to
move
quickly.
The
REC
recommendation
was
made,
given
that
the
pace
and
extent
of
the
snow
melt
from
northern
regions,
the
significant
rainfall
advisory
from
Environment
Canada
and,
most
importantly,
the
Ottawa
River
regulation
planning
boards
amended
forecasts
predicting
water
now
which
in
fact
exceed
levels
witnessed
in
2017.
This
compressed
timeline
required
more
human
resources
to
accomplish
defensive
preparations
before
the
water.

Crested

koo,
diesel,
in
declaring
a
state
of
emergency.
The
city
formally
requested
assistance
from
the
province
of
ontario,
including
the
deployment
of
military
personnel.
During
our
peak
period,
a
total
number
of
800
Canadian
Armed
Forces
members
were
deployed
and
their
assistance
cannot
be
overstated.
J
They
are
providing
exceptional
professional
service
and
demonstrated
strong
teamwork
working
alongside
volunteers,
members
of
our
community
and
city
staff
as
well,
Team
Rubicon,
an
international
non-government
organization
that
supports
Disaster
Response,
was
also
deployed
along
with
Mennonite
disaster
service
and
the
Ottawa
volunteer
search-and-rescue.
Together.
All
of
these
teams
have
provided
extraordinary
support
to
the
residents
in
their
sandbagging
efforts.
In
the
days
that
followed
the
state
of
emergency
declaration,
water
levels
continue
to
rise,
prompting,
unfortunately,
a
voluntary
evacuation
along
Bay
drive-in,
Constance
Bay.
J
In
support
of
this
evacuation,
an
emergency
reception
and
lodging
facility
was
established
at
the
risk
crash
recreational
complex
further.
The
Canadian
Red
Cross
set
up
an
information
line
for
Ottawa
residents
impacted
by
the
flood
operationally.
There
have
been
several
challenges
to
overcome,
for
example,
as
a
result
of
the
high
water
levels
and
the
flows
the
shaji
bridge
had
to
be
closed
to
all
vehicles
and
pedestrians
on
Sunday
April
28th
traffic
services
responded
quickly
by
arranging

and
transit
transportation
routes
were
adjusted
accordingly.

Of
the
city's
water
purification
plants,
one
on
lamu

and
one
in

have
both
continued
to
function
normally
and
staff
work
to
ensure
mitigations
plans
were
in
place
as
the
water
was
rising.
The
Canadian
Forces
played
an
integral
role
in
protecting
some
of
the
city's
critical
infrastructure,
such
as
securing
the
berm
in
Britannia
and
maintaining
critical
access.

Peak

Our
city
remains
in
a
state

to
provide
the
necessary
aid
to
the
affected
areas.
We
are
asking
residents
to
keep

city,
aunty's
anticipates
water
levels,
will
rise
again
slightly
between
now
and
Friday,
but
below
the
peaks
that
were
reached
last
week.
The
sandbags
will
continue
to
protect
their
homes.
As
of
this
morning,
all
three

in
Constance
Bay
will
remain
open.
J
A
voluntary
evacuation
area
remains
in
effect
and
155
homes
have
self
evacuated.
Residents
will
be
notified
when
it's
safe
to
return
to
their
homes
as
soon
as
possible.
Approximately
1.5
million
sandbags
have
been
filled
and
distributed
by
the
Canadian
Armed
Forces
and
over
15,000
volunteers.
We
currently
have
three
hundred
and
seventy-five
thousand
sandbags
in
reserve.
J
We've
been
proactive
in
our
efforts
to
reach
residents,
including
social
media
updates,
a
dedicated
watse,
a
page
with
approximately
one
hundred

twelve
thousand
visits,
33
media
releases
daily,
immediate
availability
and
briefings
throughout
the
state
of
emergency.
The

J
Donations
and
business
community
has
responded
significantly,
for
example,
Amazon
and
Whole
Foods,
donated
over
29,000
relief
items
such
as
towels
hygiene
supplies,
blankets
and
water,

businesses
provided
1200

that
were
prepared
and
delivered

Maintaining
regular
operations
for
the
remainder
of
the
city
has
been
a
challenge
due
to
the
resourcing
impact
of
the
impacted
areas.
J
J
Staff
have
remained
highly
engaged
and
are
committed
to
the
well-being
of
our
community
and
those
affected.
By
this
event,
the
city's
application
to
the
province
of
Ontario
to
the
designate,
an
affected
area,
persuasion
to
the
disaster,
recovery
and
assistance
for
Ontario's
program
has
been
approved.
Today,
emotions
will
be
introduced
to
defer
property
tax
payments
and
suspend
the
application
fees
for
a
period
with
respect
to
the
development
and
billing
applications
for
those
affected
by
the
further
hydro.
J
Ottawa
is
waiving
all
connection
fees,
along
with
delivery
fees
for
the
disconnection
period
to
help
customers
during
this
time
they
are
also
urging
customers
in
areas
where
there's
still
a
risk
of
flooding
to
count
to
contact
hydro
one
if
water
starts
to
reach
electrical
outlets,
baseboards
heaters
or
furnace.
The
Electrical
Safety
Authority
is
also
waiving
reconnection
fees
in
regard
to
the
restoration
of
electrical
services
in
the
flood
damaged
areas
across
the
province.
J
J
Phase
and
some
of
our
services
may
be
impacted.
We
ask
for
your
continued
support
and
patience
as
we
support
the
needs
of
the
affected
residents
and
flooding
areas.
Next
week,
information
sessions
will
be
held
and
take
place
on
Monday
in
both
Fitzroy
Harbor
and
Constance
Bay
Tuesday
in
Cumberland
and
Thursday
in
Britannia
to
assist
residents
in
the
impacted
flooding
area.
Thank
you
very
much,
madam
miss
Opoku,
madam
in
a
deputy.
A
L
You
very
much
first
of
all,
I
want
to
say
a
big
thank
you
to
your
whole
team.
Being
that
I
was
on
the
ground.
I
always
felt
connected
to
you
all
through
that
hotline
that
you
set
up
for
councillors,
and
it
was
great
to
have
that
rapid
response
when
we
had
requests
on
the
ground,
because
it
was
an
ever-changing
process
over
the
last
couple
of
weeks
and
I
really
really
appreciated.
It
I
found
that
the
the
responses
were
very
good
and
I
think
that's
really
key
to
continuing
that
good
service.
L
So
I
think
those
are
lessons
learned
in
terms
of
positive
things
that
have
happened
so
I
want
to
thank
you,
given
that
where
could
be
only
just
partway
through
this,
because
there's
still
a
possibility
that
we
have
things
to
come,
we
don't
know
that
yet
don't
know
what
curves
are
going
to
be
sent
our
way.
Your
comment
that
from
the
manager
about
this
is
not
a
sprint.
L
A
Chief,
if
I
could
just
ask
you
would
provide
me
with
a
very
thorough
and
informative
information
session,
just
an
outline
of
how
procedures
work
in
addition
to
the
debriefing
of
affected
counselors.
If
you
could
maybe
provide
some
some
information
to
all
of
Council
and
respect
to
how
the
EOC
works
and-
and
some
of
that
after
this
is
all
done.
A
Recognizing
that
we
have
two
motions
that
actually
speak
to
this
very
issue,
and
some
of
my
colleagues
may
have
questions
to
that.
I'll
actually
go
to
the
motions
and
ask
ask
them
to
be
right
out
so
that
we
can
incorporate
that
into
the
conversation.
Maybe
keep
things
moving
along.
So
I'll
ask
councillor
Stephen
bleh,
to
speak
to
his
motion,
which
is
seconded
by
Teresa
Cavanaugh.
M
Whereas
several
low-lying
areas
within
the
City
of
Ottawa
have
been
directly
impacted
by
flooding
in
late
April
and
early
May
as
a
result
of
higher
water
levels
in
the
Ottawa
waterways
and
whereas
section
342
of
the
Municipal
Act
2001
permits
the
municipality
to
establish
a
different
property
tax.
Installment
due
dates
in
the
year
and
the
due
date
for
installment
for

3
of

2019
45,
which
sets

property
taxes
and
res
the
city.
M
Treasurer
in
consultation
with
the
manager,
security
and
emergency
management
will
identify
properties
impacted
by
flooding
located,
primarily
in,
but
not
limited
to
West
Carlton,
March,
Cumberland,
Bay,
kitchy,
Sippy
and
Orleans
Ward's,
and
whereas
to
ensure
that
the
city
could
provide
tax
billing.
Deferrals
for
impacted
residents
as
soon
as
possible
and
without
an
undue
administrative
burden.
M
The
city
treasurer
has
established
a
criteria
for
eligibility
for
property
tax
deferral,
which
may
include
deferral
of
any
special
levies
in
the
final
tax
bill
for
2019
for
impacted
property
owners
based
on
the
existing
farm
grant
program
as
further
described
in
schedule.
A
in
accordance
with
councils
authority
under
Section
342
of
the
Municipal
Act
2001,
therefore
be
resolved.
A
N
Whereas
several
oflike
low-lying
areas
within
the
City
of
Ottawa
have
been
directly
impacted
by
flooding
in
late
April
and
early
May
as
a
result
of
higher
water
levels
in
the
Ottawa
waterways
and
whereas
repair
a
restriction,
reconstruction
of
affected
buildings
and
structures
will
be
required
and
whereas
property
owners
may
require
relief
from
the
zoning
bylaw
in
the
form
of
merit,
minor
variants
applications
in
order
to
rebuild
existing
buildings
and
structures
in
areas
affected
by
flooding.
And
whereas
these
minor
variants
applications
will
cause
delays
and
additional
cost
to
property
owners
affected
by
flooding.
N
So
what
this
motion
does
is,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
the
staff
be
directed
to
review
the
areas
affected
by
the
flooding
and
bring
a
report
to
City
Council
by
the
end
of
August
August
28
2019.
That
proposes
amendments
to

permits
issued
by
the

Consideration
of
the
report
on
august
28,
2009
teen
Thank.
O
Thank
you
and
madam
acting
mayor
and
good
morning
to
everyone.
My
questions
are
actually
to
staff.
With
respect
to
the
report
certainly
appreciate
the
blade
and
harder
motions,
but
I
just
have
some
general
questions.
First
of
all,
to
the
general
manager
during
a
state
of
emergency
are
the
expenses
that
the
city
incurs
eligible
to
be
reimbursed
by
either
the
federal
and/or
provincial
governments.
And
can
you
just
explain
what
are
valid
expenses
and
what
are
not
included.
J
Madam
deputy
mayor,
the
the
city
can
also,
through
the
provincial
program,
apply
to
recover
its
costs.
There
are
criteria,
and
generally
the
the
basic
principle
is.
The
city
has
to
spend
more
than
three
percent
of
its
operating
budget
to
start
beginning
to
be
eligible
for
to
recuperate
our
costs.
So.
J
J
Towards
under
the
rules
and
I'll
defer
to
the
city,
clerk's
solicitor
under
the
general
rules,
our
relationships
with
the
provincial
government,
and
then
they
can
ask
the
federal
government
so
anything
that
flows.
The
federal
government
has
announced
some
money,
but
it's
gone
to
the
Red
Cross
for
for
individual
relief.
My.
O
Other
question
is
regarding
infrastructure
and
and
how
the
conversation
will
evolve
with
respect
to
first
of
all,
getting
a
status
update
on
the
Britannia
berm.
There
were
reports
in
the
media
that
it
was
showing,
perhaps
somewhere
and
but
with
respect
to
preventing
water
infiltration
in
the
future,
particularly
in
Constance
Bay
and
in
Cumberland.
O
When
will
staff
assess
in
potentially
infrastructure
needs
to
protect
these
homes
and
properties
going
forward
if
flooding
and
these
types
of
events
are
going
to
be
more
routine
than
we
just
can't
say,
Oh
we'll
just
continue
to
go
through
this
over
and
over
again
we're
gonna
have
to
look
at
some
options.
When
will
that
actual
discussion
happen
so.
P
So
the
situation
in
Constance
Bay,
for
example,
where
it's
a
highly
sandy
conditions
berm,
would
not
have
prevented
the
water
infiltration
we
have
seen,
but
it
may
be
a
viable
option
in
other
parts
of
the
city.
The
next
step
for
us
is
that
we
already
in
process
even
before
this
flood
event
happening
of
doing
new
climate
projections
locally
in
partnership
with
a
National
Capital
Commission
as
part
of
our
energy
evolution
and
climate
change
adaptation
strategy
that
work
will
get
done
this
year.
We
will
go
right
then,
into
a
vulnerability
assessment.
P
The
vulnerability
assessment
will
help
us
prioritize
the
works.
We
need
to
do
in
terms
of
our
critical
infrastructure
and
these
sorts
of
things.
That
will
be
an
appropriate
time
to
raise
this
issue
and
then,
following
that
exercise,
we
can
start
building
these
things
into
our
infrastructure,
master
plans
and
capital
budgeting
processes.
So.
O
P
If
I
can
suggest
it's
not
entirely
quite
as
bad
I
mean,
there
are
certainly
steps
we
can
do
in
terms
of
prevention
and
preparation,
and
certainly
this
2019
flood.
We
were
far
better
prepared
than
2017
flood
and
there
were
meaningful
things
done
that
prevented
further
property
damage,
even
though
it's
a
larger
flood
suppose
we
will
work
with
emergency
services
and
Protective
Services
to
identify
the
opportunities
for
immediate
measures
that
could
be
done
in
the
short
term
and
look
at
some
of
the
most
critical
infrastructure
related
to
the
water
treatment
plant
in
those
other
areas.
K
K
K
The
structure
of
the
town,
without
minimizing
all
this
trauma
and
for
residents
in
their
communities.
What
kind
of
forum
are
we
going
to
have
at
the
council
table
to
discuss
these
matters
and
I'm
going
to
continue
with?
My
second
part
of
the
question,
Mangano
has
a
know
has
announced
programs.
Can
you
tell
us
what
they
be?
A
province
of
Ontario
has
announced
for
residents
of
affected
regions.
D
The
work
that's
already
underway
by
the
city,
so
now
it's
planning
and
future
analysis
instead
of
emergency
response
in.
Regarding
your
second
question
about
the
Quebec
government,
we
haven't
had
discussions
yet
with
the
government
of
Ontario
and
I
know
that
colleagues
in
the
government
of
Ontario
has
mentioned
that
they
needed
to
start
the
discussion,
but
it
hasn't
started
yet
as
far
as
we
know,
because
there's
not
only
Ottawa
that
was
affected.
D
K
P
K
K
K
B
So
those
folks,
really
they
were
hand
in
hand
with
the
first
responder,
helps
to
house
door
to
door,
making
sure
our
resident
receive
the
Wellness
and
support
them
to
stay
home,
to
fight
the
fight,
and
with
that
we
thank
them
potentially
because
and
I
wanted
to
thank
my
colleague
to
all
of
you
reaching
out,
but
specifically
counsel
suds,
who
passed
me
on
one
of
her
staff
and
he's
a
troubleshooter,
and
he
did
a
great
job.
Really.
B
It
supported
me
on
the
ground
for
three
days,
so
I
still
want
to
say
thank
you
to
undress
no
one
as
the
chief
staff
of
councillor
suds.
With
that
my
question
to
the
general
manager
and
to
all
of
you
around
the
table,
the
sandbag
is
become
an
issue
a
we
want
to
be
clear.
They
should
not
be
remove
anytime
soon
until
message
come
from
the
city
and,
secondly,
those
sandbag
they're,
not
they're,
not
toxic.
We
didn't
have
salt
in
them
this
time.
B
They're,
not
they
contaminated
I,
understand
the
soda,
the
beach
sort
of
the
front
yard
so
that
everything
we
have
is
contaminated.
So
I
like
to
see
our
official
working
with
the
public
health
doctor
to
make
sure
we
have
a
consistent
message
if
the
beach
are
contaminated,
so
did
the
sand
back.
So
why
not
put
the
sand
back
on
the
beach
and
treat
them
1:1
sunny
days
and
turn
around
so
versus?
B
Don't
picking
them
up,
because
a
city
staff
or
the
Armed
Forces
will
not
go
on
a
private
property
pick
up
their
son
there
and
it's
going
to
be
a
huge
burden
on
the
resident
to
do
so.
I
like
you
to
consider
this
before.
We
make
any
further
decision
to
have
a
discussion
with
the
public
health
about
those
sand
baths.
I
understand
they
might
be
contaminated,
but
I
understand
they're,
not
toxic,
either
a.
E
A
Seeing
as
we
have
no
more
questions
for
staff,
I
will
ask
for
a
vote
for
whether
the
motion,
the
first
motion
and
extension
of
property
tax,
due
dates
for
properties
damaged
by
the
2019
flooding
event,
is
Carrie
and
on
the
second
motion,
planning
and
building
permit
relief
for
properties
affected
by
the
2019
flooding
event.
Okay,
okay,
seen
as
those
are
both
carried
we'll
move
on
to
the
held
item
from
planning
committees,
zoning
bylaw
amendment
348
and
350
Winona
Avenue,
councillor
Lieber,.
G
Thanks
chair,
this
is
a
it's
a
it's
a
fairly
small
matter,
but
I
think
the
the
reputational
risk
and
perception
of
the
city's
willingness
to
defend
the
zoning
that
we
have
in
place
is
actually
more
important
than
the
application
that
is
before
us
for
those
of
you
who
need
a
quick
refresher
on
what
this
is.
These
are
two
triplexes
that
have
been
built
and
the
developer
is
seeking
permission
to
put
a
fourth
unit
into
the
basement
of
them.
G
The
building
is
the
the
fourth
unit
is
already
roughed
in
it's
there.
It's
waiting
for
the
rezoning
and
the
occupancy,
and
this
happens
time
and
time
again
the
developers
are
seeking
to
not
have
to
trigger
there
the
site
plan
control
requirements.
When
you
go
from
three
to
four
units,
you
need
to
go
into
site
plan.
They
want
to
get
the
building
built
and
start
getting
some
revenue
coming
in
to
the
the
project
before
they
go
to
the
expense
and
the
time
of
getting
their
site
plan.
G
The
problems
residents
of
they're
not
doing
anything
illegal,
but
the
problem
is
that
residents
are
feeling
powerless.
Their
feeling
is
so
the
city
is
not
willing
to
defend
our
interests
in
the
face
of
the
dozens
of
in
fills
that
are
going
into
our
neighborhood
every
year.
This
is
an
issue
that
is
coming
to
your
ward.
G
Soon,
if
you
have
a
mature
neighborhood
that
is
going
to
be
infilled
start
getting
in
filled
in
the
next
five
or
six
or
ten
years,
you're
going
to
be
facing
the
same
perception
of
yourself
and
the
city
that
residents
of
catch's
Sippy
have
with
respect
to
our
willingness
to
defend
the
zoning.
That's
in
place.
G
They're
saying
from
the
very
beginning,
we
intend
to
make
this
a
four
unit,
building
I'm
asking
council
to
encourage
all
of
the
infill
developers
in
the
mature
neighborhoods,
who
are
doing
so
much
development
right
now,
as
LRT
is,
is,
is
spurring
intensification
in
our
wards.
Turn
this
one
down
and
say:
listen!
Your
ride
is
going
to
be
easier
if
you're
transparent
from
the
start,
I'll
leave
it
at
that
chair
I'm
and
asked
for
a
J's
and
nays
on
this
one.
Please.
A
A
A
A
N
As
I
hope,
all
of
you
know
tomorrow
at
planning
we
have
the
development
charge,
background
study
and
bylaws.
That's
coming
too
many
absolutely
critical
piece
of
policy
work
that
we
do
and
it
has
time
restrictions.
So
what
we
did
previously
in
order
to
allow
Council
to
have
the
opportunity
to
provide
you,
no
other
motions
potentially
but
still
deal
with
the
timeline.
We
really
only
have
the
22nd
council
meeting
before
that
deadline
of
June
the
10th
2019.
N
So
what
we
are
asking
and
the
whole
burbage
is
there
on
the
screen,
if
you'd
like
to,
if
the
staff
would
like
to
roll
it
down.
What
we're
asking
is
that,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
City
Council
approved
with
3/4
present
and
voting
that
the
rules
of
procedure
for
the
May
22nd
council,
consideration
of
the
development
charges?
Background
study
and
bylaws
report
include
as
follows
that
all
substantive
motions
to
amend
the
development
charges,
background
study
and
bylaws
report
be
submitted
to
the
city,
clerk
and
solicitor's
office
no
later
than
4:00
p.m.
N
on
Friday
May,
the
17th
so
next
a
week
from
Friday
to
allow
staff
to
prepare
amendments
to
the
development
charges
by
logic.
The
submitted
motions
be
approved
and
on
the
22nd
and
on
the
understanding
that
any
substantive
motions
received
after
that
time
and
at
the
meeting
will
be
ruled
out
of
order
if
staff
cannot
accommodate
the
changes
to
the
development
charges
bylaws
at
the
May
22nd
2019
meeting
and
to
that
the
development
charges
backs.
N
The
background
study
and
bylaws
report
be
considered
as
the
first
substantive
item
after
the
consent
agenda,
such
that,
if
there
are
substantive
motions,
so
if
somebody
doesn't
submit
by
a
week
from
Friday
staff,
will
do
their
best
to
try
and
work
with
it,
but
there's
no
guarantee
at
all
because
it's
quite
complex.
This
is
something
we're
dictated
under
the
development
charges,
Act
of
Ontario
that
we
must
comply
with
the
timelines.
N
So
if
there
are
any
of
those
substantive
motions,
all
motions
will
be
considered
and
then
the
final
approval,
the
development
charges,
background
study
and
bylaws
report
as
Amanda
will
be
stood
down
until
just
prior
to
the
motion
to
adopt
reports
to
allow
staff
the
time
to
make
the
final
changes
to
the
development
charges
bylaws
and
that
no
new
motions
to
amend
the
development
charges.
Background
study
and
bylaws
report
would
be
in
order
when
counsel
votes
from
the
development
charges,
background
study
and
bylaws
report,
as
amended.
A
E
A
N
G
Madam
chair,
the
city
must
adopt
a
new
new
development
church
bylaws
no
later
than
June
10th.
Otherwise
there
will
be
no
development
charges
in
the
City
of
Ottawa,
so
on
June
11th,
which
was
prior
to
the
next
council
meeting
developers,
would
be
able
to
pull
building
permits
and
not
have
to
pay
any
municipal
development
charges.
That's
why
it
is
in
staffs
of
pension
opinion
essential
that
this
bylaw
be
carried
on.
E
I
guess
my
concern
is
just
the
the
fact
that
other
motions
may
come
forward
not
related
to
the
timeline,
but
may
be
legitimate
motions
at
that
time.
Without
delaying
this.
That
should
still
be
in
order.
So
that's
that's
really.
The
crux
of
this
is
there
may
be
other
discussions
that
come
up,
which
is
councils
duty
without
delaying
it,
but
still
have
motions,
and
so
the
Part
B
of
the
motion
seems
to
eliminate
that
option.
So
that's
my
concern.
G
Yes,
so,
madam
chair,
there
are
two
types
of
motions
that
come
to
me
that
come
to
my
mind.
The
first
type
of
motion
is
a
motion
that
amends
the
bylaw
so
amends
the
procedure
under
which
Tavano
in
charges
are
imposed.
The
amount
of
the
development
charges
any
of
the
rules,
the
regulations
governing
development
charges,
those
have
to
be
incorporated
into
the
bylaw
and
staff
need
time
to
draft
them.
I
don't
have
the
skill
to
draft
them
on
the
fly
at
the
floor
of
Council.
G
Sometimes
staff
can
draft
motions,
but
the
development
church
bylaws
are
highly
technical
and
I
couldn't
do
it
I
couldn't
do
it
on
the
22nd.
The
second
type
of
motion
is
and
I
we're
already
seeing.
Some
of
these
is
we're
not
looking
to
change
the
development
charge
by
law,
but
we'd
like
you
to
study
this
those
bylaws
because
they're
not
affected
development
charge.
Bylaws
would
fall
within
that
category,
which
says
those
motions
can
go
forward
on
the
22nd.
A
F
F
B
F
E
A
E
E
Very
much
I'm
chair
if
this
notice
of
motion
relates
to
the
autism
spectrum
disorder
changes
in
the
province
and
how
they
affect
the
municipality
of
Ottawa,
so
I'll
be
giving
notice
to
encourage
the
province
to
suspend
its
implementation
of
its
plan.
Changes
pending
meaningful
and
broad
consultation
with
relevant
stakeholders.
A
A
G
Jer,
yes,
I
do
have
a
an
inquiry
for
planning
and
economic
development.
It's
a
long
one
I
apologize
inquiry.
The
City
of
Ottawa
has
undergone
several
Main
Street
renewal
projects
over
the
past
ten
years.
While
each
project
is
unique,
many
best
practices
have
been
learned
from
each
one
that
can
potentially
be
applied
to
future
projects.
G
One
does
the
city
conduct
any
follow-up
evaluations
to
business
owners
and
residents
post
construction
to
assess
their
experiences
and
outcomes
to
what
would
the
process
be
to
establish
a
best
practices
guide
for
municipal
construction
projects
that
could
be
communicated
to
residents
and
businesses,
providing
advance
notice
to
business
owners
for
construction
projects
and
keeping
them
well-informed
is
essential
to
ensuring
they
can
continue
their
operations.
One.
Does
the
City
of
Ottawa
have
a
targeted
communication
strategy
for
businesses
during
long
term
municipal
construction
projects?
G
Does
the
city
have
a
set
standard
for
how
far
in
advance
planned
construction
is
communicated
to
residents
and
business
owners
3?
What
would
be
the
costs
of
adding
a
business
liaison
role
for
various
areas
in
the
city?
West,
east
central
potential,
within
the
economic
development
branch,
to
communicate
with
business
owners
during
long
term
municipal
construction
projects
thanks.
